This project seeks to exhort the members of Church of the Open Door to passionate obedience to the discipleship calling and commissioning of Christ. Chapter 1 introduces Church of the Open Door and establishes the historical context necessitating this focused instruction. Chapter 2 provides the biblical and theological basis for Matthew’s recording of Jesus’ call and commission to a life discipleship. Chapter 3 provides the biblical and theological basis for Matthew’s recording of Jesus’ instruction on the cost of discipleship. Chapter 4 discusses the methodology of the project and details the exposition of the sermon series “Something to Die For.” Chapter 5 analyzes and evaluates the results of the project and includes theological and personal reflection on the project. | en_US |
